My Samsung refrigerator started out getting confused between crushed and cubes (it would give you broken ice when asking for cubes). Then it stopped making ice completely. I turned off the function, but before I did, it was making a rhythmic low whirring noise, as if it were trying to drop ice. A local repair man said the ice maker was broken, but I don't really trust him (I live out of the US), and I'm thinking it may actually be the auger motor. Does anyone have any idea how I could determine which part needs replacing, as I would prefer not to have to pay for both if I only need one. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi there, today my family experienced problems with fridge. It was purchased in late April 2019, delivered & installed on 5/1/19. See attached image for status I haven't seen before. Water leaks from dispenser when using "cubed" or "crushed" for ice. Top drawer of bottom freezer is melting, bottom drawer is fine. Read instruction manual, what else do I suspect besides trapped air in water filter?

I have a GE french door refrigerator with an ice maker that quit working. I replaced the ice maker with a new Samsung DA41-00476E unit but it still doesn't work. A few years ago I replaced this same ice maker and it worked correctly until now.
I have checked water flow and it is OK. I placed a thermometer in the ice maker bin and after about 10 minutes it read 25 deg F. There appears to be cold air blowing into the compartment.
What should I check next?
Thanks

Older whirlpool EV160FXK freezer from around the 1990's.

Always worked good but needed a good defrosting now and then.
Last time it needed defrosting was about 5 years ago. This time when it was all frozen over and starting to accumulate inches of snow on the shelves, I slid it out of the garage and just left it open on the driveway for about 36 hours to melt and drain. Plugged it back in, and it sort of sounded like it was struggling to get cold, but about 24 hours later it seemed very cold. I went to put a bottle of water in it about 12 hours after I last checked, to make sure it could freeze water, but it was completely warm, so now I unplugged it afraid something could burn out or something. It was on dial setting 3 or 4 always out of 7, so I plugged it back in on 7 for some hours and tapped on the analog dial in case it would fix a bad connection, but it's not getting cold at all.

Whirlpool GX5SHTXVA00 s/n KW1504332

About 6 years ago it started freezing-up the condenser/radiator/coils in the freezer section which also regulate the fridge section and caused the fridge to become too warm. I used a heat gun on the back wall of the freezer to melt the frozen condenser behind it, and then a turkey baster to suck the water out of the collection pan at the back bottom. Had to do that about once or twice a year.

I replaced the thermostat a couple months ago and siliconed over the wire nuts and everything as per installation tutorials. A couple weeks ago it froze over again, so I defrosted it again and then it sort of happened again right after. So I set the freezer section to only 1 out of 7, and now it seems ok but might happen again it seems. Basically the freezer is still very cold on "1" because the coils I think are slightly frozen-over and keeping the coldness in the freezer. I have the fridge set to 4 of 7 and seems to be cold enough - I think we previously had the fridge at only 1 in order to help this problem but 4 seems to be doing ok for now

Model Number: GFSS6KKYCSSBrand: GEAge: 6-10 years

I have a GE GFSS6KKYCSS Refrigerator (French door w/ freezer on bottom / ice & water in door). It has started dripping water from the ice maker into the ice bin. This, of course, freezes the ice cube bin into a solid block and renders the ice dispenser useless.

I have swapped out the solenoid valve, so a leaking valve is not the issue. That would have been too easy!

Upon further investigation, I find the ice maker not so much over-filling (and running over), but I find water on the top of the ice maker - the "ceiling" piece of the ice maker - the plastic directly over the cube freezing tray. This water seems to run off the edge and make its way into the bin below. I'm not sure how water seems to defy gravity and get there. The ice maker appears to unload ice from the tray by turning on a heating element under the metal tray, and then an arm with a finger for each cube rotates to push the cube out. The cubes must roll up and slide against the "ceiling" before falling into the bin below.

So with these mechanics in mind, I have two theories:

#1 - The cubes (at times) don't freeze entirely and the water on the "ceiling" is from partly frozen cubes dripping. But I don't see voids in the cubes in the ice bin. Cause could be a timer issue (ice maker problem I believe), or an issue of not enough cold air.

#2 - The heater that turns on to loosen the cubes from the tray is too hot or on for too long. Therefore cubes come out too wet and deposit water on the "ceiling". This would again be an ice maker problem I believe.

By the way, items in the back of the refrigerator do freeze up from time to time. That's happened well before the ice maker issue started. We've just lived with this problem.

I have searched the forums and elsewhere but have not found any solution. Thank you for reading and any support you can provide. I have no problem with replacing parts, but don't want to replace the ice maker and find that's not the cause.

We bought this refrigerator from Best Buy and it was delivered on 10-2-17. Last week, it quit producing ice cubes. It isn't a water supply issue as you can still get a glass of water. The ice maker looks to be frosted to the point it isn't working. Is there a fix for this? Wondering if there is a kit or something to repair it.

I have reset the ice maker and it goes through the cycle. It appears to not be getting water. I am getting water in the door dispenser, can the water pump be out if water is getting to the door and not the ice maker? I even poured water in the tray and it made ice.... it just won't fill on its own. Any suggestions as to what could be wrong. Thank you in advance for your help. I also turned the temp up just in case there was ice frozen in the tube
